Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Studios, released this official statement below:

“Hi - you may have read today that a next-generation sequel to Tomb Raider is in the works. We’re very excited to confirm that the team has started working on telling the next chapter in Lara’s tale. It’s still early days, so I’m afraid I can’t provide any further details for now save my assurance that we’re not resting on our laurels and acclaim from Tomb Raider’s recent successes, but working hard to raise the bar even higher and re-affirm the faith you’ve shown.”

Did you hear the news out of SDCC? We’re extremely excited to announce that famed comic book scribe Gail Simone will be taking lead on the Tomb Raider comics, published in partnership with Dark Horse. Simone has worked on an array of popular titles, including Birds of Prey, Deadpool, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl. This isn’t Simone’s first foray with Lara, however. She wrote one of our favorite episodes of GameTap’s Re\Visioned tribute to Tomb Raider, “Pre-Teen Raider.”
